[edit] Summary

This photo is a headshot from the Arizona PBS website. Further information is unknown, as it was obtained through a Google search and the original webpage it was referenced on has been removed.

http://www.azpbs.org/40/grfx/grant.gif

I believe the photograph to be legitimate for fair use because the website it was obtained from is that of a public television station.

Additionally, the subject of the photograph is the host of a television program produced by that station, and as an example of their copyright policy, they make transcripts of their show available for free download on the internet -- see http://www.azpbs.org/horizon/archives.htm.

[edit] Licensing

This work is a copyrighted publicity photograph. It is believed that the use of some such photographs to illustrate:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.

Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.
To the uploader: This tag should only be used for images of a person, product, or event that is known to have come from a press kit or similar source, for the purpose of reuse by the media. Please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the image and copyright information. Additionally, if the copyright holder has granted permission, please provide further details as to the terms.
